However tempting, the “it’s all the same” explanations rarely hold true in life.

even for anyone with no technical knowledge, a minimum of common sense can go a long way:

- many more NEOs have flown than MAXs and for much longer;

- one of the two types has had an inordinate number of incidents including multiple fatal crashes; the others has one of the highest safety records to date.

One can of course ‘believe’ in Airbus or Boeing as in religions and one can’t really do anything when it comes to beliefs, but if we are talking facts here, any parallelism between the two stories requires a lot of interpretative license...
